samba - Feb 2006 - WG: Samba-Client questions: SMB-blocksize and caching

Dear Samba-Users,

as described in my e-mail on December, the 22nd, 2005 I have difficulties to
run a Samba-Client especially with a SMB-blocksize greater than 4 KByte.

As Mr. Markus Scheffknecht does not answer, I would be very pleased if you
could tell me, where I can get support for running Samba on Red Head Linux
(especially configuring the SMB blocksize).

Best regards and thank you

Betreff: Samba-Client questions: SMB-blocksize and caching


Dear Samba-Users,

could you please help me with the following two questions:

1. How can I increase the maximum SMB-blocksize from currently 4 KByte to
the "regular" 64 KByte with my Red Hat Samba-Client (The server is
already
configured to 64 KByte and with a Windows-client this SMB-blocksize can be
used.)

2. How can I deactivate the buffer on the SMB-client, so that the same file
is always transfered with the same rate - even if it just has been read.

I have Red Hat Linux release 7.2 Kernel 2.4.18-86np on an i686.
But even if you could give me just some general hints, I would be very
pleased!

Thank you very much
Claus
